Life is GREAT, but life is busy! I hope to be back
with some new faces in a couple of weeks!

I spent last week in Grand Rapids at the MiAEYC Conference. 
I have so many great new ideas and things to share! 

Yesterday, I was awarded as the Outstanding Graduate Student in Psychology at NMU....

and the UP Early Childhood Conference is less than 2 weeks away!

We are upgrading our business from a family home to a group home and I'm hiring/training new staff.

I'm busy.

Life is GREAT!

I'll be back to blogging as soon as I can.

A Few Ideas With Marker Caps (As Promised)

By
Yesterday, I hope I convinced you not to throw away your markers that "don't work." Today, I will share with you a few ideas for what to do with all of the caps. The possibilities are nearly endless, but here are a few of our recent creations: 1) A Leprechaun/Fairy Ladder/Rope Ladder: 2) #1 if not permanently secured can also double as a rope bridge: 3) #1/#2 can also be made into a train track for your homemade trains :).

You can use them as small manipulatives to count, sort, and make patterns with. (No photo available). 7) You could use them as playing pieces in your own homemade board game. (No photo available). 8) You could put them on a wire and glue them in place to make a twirling whirly-gig. 9) You could top them with a lid from a milk jug to make tiny tables or toadstools. 10) You could make them...
